The Best Way to Shape a Meatloaf

Hide Transcript

Ditch the loaf pan. The best way to shape and cook meatloaf is to go free form. Take the mixture and place it on a lightly greased broiler rack and gently shape it into a loaf. This will guarantee the meatloaf won't be watery or have a texture of a hockey puck. Put it in the oven for about an hour on 350, and you'll have dinner in no time.
